  • Following is a list of changes in the v1.6.7.13 update to JO:TR and JO:E



    Game Additions and Changes:

    In-game changes to video resolution will now produce a confirmation message before applying changes.
    The KOTH Hot Zone now changes colors on the GPS map based on which team has more time in the Hot Zone.
    The game now features a “Kill Cam” which will show the victim what direction he was killed from.
    Players will now receive feedback in the form of their crosshair changing color, or if using an iron site, having their crosshair flash on the screen, when their bullets strike a live target.
    The crosshair will render in a 1024x768 resolution.
    Clicking the My Account button will no longer cause you to exit your game without first warning you.




    NovaWorld Changes:

    Users will now be punted if after entering a server they fail to spawn or provide other input within 6 minutes of joining.
    Improved ping code will provide more accurate ping times.
    The NovaWorld login screen will no longer “Auto-Login”. Rather, if the player chooses to have the game “Remember my Login Information” then the game will auto-complete the Login and Password fields when this screen appears, but it will log the user in.
    The NovaWorld account Help button has been updated.
    The Ranking & Scoring Systems have been enhanced to give players a better and longer experience when playing Joint Operations.
